Ponzi or Pumped? Controversial TRON Dapp Racks up 500 Million TRX, Crypto Coins News


  • TRON’s Just.Game becomes No.1 Dapp within hours of launch.
  • Over 664 million in TRX has been sent to the automated smart contract.
  • Critics say the app’s structure too closely resembles that of a Ponzi scheme.

A new decentralized application (Dapp) promoted by TRON founder Justin Sun has racked up over 664 million TRX mere hours after its launch.

Just.Game describes itself as an “autodecentric (self-decentralizing) organization.” To play the “game,” a user must send TRX to the Dapp’s smart contract, and then promote the Dapp by posting referral links on social media.

Just.Game promises to be profitable – as long as more users continue to sign up. But as

many have already pointed out, the top- Down “autodecentric” structure of the Dapp displays a startling resemblance to a typical Ponzi scheme.

Greeting users on the Just.Game website is the following passage:

Just.game is an (autodecentric(self-decentralizing) organization that creates a playable game on the TRON blockchain. This organization acts as an individual entity, employing humans to fulfill its own needs, goals and desires by paying them.

Much like themethodology employed by the recently covered HEX, the creators of Just. Game take great pains to depict the program as ownerless. This seems to be an attempt to preemptively pour cold water on any prospective SEC investigation, since an automated smart contract can’t be charged with a crime.

Justin Sun took to Twitter on Monday tocelebrate the Dapp accruing million TRX (~ $ 7 million).However, the man With over 2 million followers failed to attract a single positive comment on his announcement thread.**************************Source: (Twitter********** Instead, users derided Sun’s willingness to promote a product that so closely resembles a fleecing operation. Users who witnessed the launch of Just.Game say Justin Sun appeared on the livestream and spent million TRX on the app himself.

Couple this with what we know about TRON – namely, the allegation by a TRON Dapp developer that Justin Sun inflates his own Dapp numbers – and we find a reason to take Just.Game’s current success with a healthy pinch of salt.
